Daniel New speaks to Richard Hill-Whittall about Life of Pixel and struggling on Wii U.
The guys of Gaming Boulevard deliver their review of Indie 'Life of Pixel'.
Video games are getting older. They’ve reached their midlife crisis. They’re looking back on the old days, when they were young, and wishing there was some way to bring that back. Luckily, Life of Pixel is here. The question is, can Life of Pixel balance being a retro throwback with being an actual game?
SuperPhillip Central: Retro and indie go together like peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, ketchup and mustard, salad and dress-- well, you get the idea. Many independent developers opt to go with a retro style. However, many just do so for aesthetic purposes. Not so with Super Icon's Life of Pixel. The retro art style (or should I say, art styles?) lends itself to the gameplay for a very clever reason. Why the premise itself is creative, there are some niggling issues that prevent Life of Pixel from being truly great.
